Remember to check under your bonnets this time of the year.
That's the warning from Fire and Emergency NZ.
This car arrived for a service with a couple of stowaways stashed under the bonnet.
Firefighters say the driver of this car was very lucky.

The Arahoe School learners are among 10 finalists from around the country chosen for their efforts to improve the world around them.
The Fred Hollows Foundation NZ aims to thwart avoidable blindness in the Pacific and to give people permanent access to quality eye care.
Arahoe School teacher Amanda Kemp nominated Zoey, 10 for the awards.
Zoey was diagnosed with cataracts in 2019 and only had sight in one eye for a year.
"She possesses the most outstanding attitude towards her school life, is a leader amongst her friends and her can-do attitude has not slowed her down,' Kemp said.
In July, the Titirangi youngster had her cataracts removed "and this has not impacted her attitude towards all she does any differently."
Amelia, from Glen Eden, was nominated by her teacher, Bridget Dymock-Johnson.
Amelia,11 showed great initiative and spent time researching the Fred Hollows Foundation NZ before delivering her speech in front of the class.
"Amelia is kind and helpful.
"When someone doesn't have a group she invites them to join her," Dymock-Johnson said.
"Her words towards others are always kind."

Five years of City Rail Link work has come to fruition at the intersection of Albert St and Wolfe St in Auckland's CBD.
Digging up the busy city street for rail tunnels took longer than expected and caused hardship for businesses in the area, said City Rail Link Ltd chief executive Dr Sean Sweeney.
"There have been robust discussions over the years, but we have worked hard with local businesses to find suitable solutions to offset impacts when work fell behind schedule including the introduction of rent assistances scheme for those who qualified,” said Sweeney.
“We hope we are leaving behind a rejuvenated and transformed street.”
Work began in late 2015 on the city rail link section at the lower end of Albert St.
A trench was excavated down the middle of Albert St between Customs St and Wyndham St to build the project’s twin underground tunnels 350-metres long.
At Commercial Bay they connected with the tunnel built from Britomart Station.
Construction also involved relocating an important stormwater line and strengthening a section of a large sewer main.
Tunnel construction finished in mid-2019 and Albert St was back filled up to road level.
Street beautifying followed – building wider pavements, installing new street furniture and lighting, planting native trees and creating bus bays to upgrade public transport.
Sweeney says the end to the work at the lower end of Albert Street is an important milestone.
“Historically it is where CRL’s construction began, but when you look ahead it’s a timely reminder that CRL is a transformational project for the whole of Auckland."
"Alongside that city-wide view we have a commitment to leave a positive legacy locally where we have had to put our spades into the ground.“
Meanwhile, work is continuing from the Wyndham St intersection to extend the city rail link further south along Albert St to join the new Aotea underground station in the city centre.
